Answer:

Entropy decreases

Explanation:

Entropy is the tendency of a system to proceed towards disorder. Combustion of carbon results in more order because the carbon combines with oxygen to form carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide. Therefore, the entropy decreases. When carbon is combusted, its enthalpy increases hence the reaction cannot be spontaneous.
